Anthropic hands MCP over to the Linux Foundation
Anthropic just donated the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to the newly formed Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation. Co-founded alongside Block and OpenAI, the move makes the runaway agent connector standard officially vendor-neutral. With over 10,000 active public servers and native support in ChatGPT, Cursor, and Gemini, MCP is cementing its role as the web's default plumbing for AI agents.
